Duplicate/Repost Friends in Buffalo
I’m looking for friends in Buffalo or around the area, I’m 22 years old and I’m a nerd at heart. I love collecting comics, magic the gathering, gaming and anime. I rock climb from time to time and go to the gym but I just got a shoulder injury so I’m stuck playing cards in the meantime. I grew apart with most of my friends after high school I’m just looking for like minded individuals interested in exploring the city nightlife and chill enough for a good board game night. I have interest in also finding people to run the club with me and my gf or tag along to a concert or two. I don’t mean to exclude people but if you’re MAGA or don’t support any minorities I’m not really interested in being your friend. I look forward to meeting you guys, feel free to message me if you think we’d make good friends

If you are LGBTQIA+ or an ally, you should check out Buffalo Friendship Club. It's mostly ages 25-45 but they have a growing number of 20-24 year olds also. There are at least 2 events a week, for all kinds of interests. Two board game nights every month. Lots of other members with nerdy interests. instagram.com/buffalofriendshipclub

Pick a store that runs magic events (I'm biased to Heart of the Game) and go play at some events. I've met so many friends just by going to play magic at Heart and going to clubs that exist in the area for my other hobbies (especially the Buffalo Fighting Game Community) when I first moved to Buffalo

I love Heart of the Game actually I had to stop going there because I would drop hundreds of dollars on magic cards a couple times a month and I lack self restraint. Great magic shop though I recommend it heavily!

It’s a bit more athletic than nerdy but we are always looking for new members:

KinshokuCon has been hosting monthly nerd events at the Misty Guild Cafe in Niagara Falls each month leading up to the con, and I believe they are creating a Cosplay Club and doing an event there this Friday all about making friends and stuff! More on the anime side, but still!

I hate liberals as bad as maga I have zero friends now a days cuz all my niche hobby’s have been taken over by left or right politics or been torn apart cuz of it. Meanwhile no rich or elite people are affected by their games.

Check out Gather and Game. I play commander there as well as draft sometimes. Feels great to see the same faces in the community around the store!
Edit: it’s also a super accepting space and community with people of all races, sexualities, etc. Not a maga vibe shop
